Preparations for the state burial of the late General Joseph Lagu Yanga are underway in Juba, with military rehearsals taking place at the Dr. John Garang Mausoleum ahead of his final send-off.
A tomb is also being constructed on the eastern side of the Pope Francis Pavilion within the mausoleum grounds, as arrangements for the burial continue.
The burial date has not yet been announced, with the Office of the President expected to officially communicate the schedule.
The preparations mark the beginning of arrangements to honour the late General, whose state burial is expected to bring together government officials, military representatives and members of the public.
